Almost every pre-season I am optimistic, and believe we are in with a shout of the play-offs. This time, though, it was different.
I now believe we are destined for the drop - with or without a takeover - and am truly worried that we'll end up being in the same state as Bradford, dropping like a stone and then hanging around aimlessly in League 2 without a cat in hells chance of any form of success in my lifetime.
Has my optimism been replaced by realism, or am I just needlessly depressed?
My missus is a Bradford fan, so we're used to being perma-depressed. They have the same problem as us, no money and no ground ownership, excessive rent, big expectations.
Chin up, chaps!
what made you pick Julian Darby for your user name ?
Exactly the same with me. Every year I believe we can do something whether it be top half or play offs but this year I have no ambition whatsoever. Just surviving would be a massive achievement in my eyes.
Although if it takes going down to become stable and rebuild then maybe it is worth it.
Don't bradford (or as we used to call them when I lived in huddersfield, sadford) have other issue's too. I believe they were sold down the river with an offer of a life time season ticket by Jeffery Richmond which cost about £3,000, it paid for the likes for Stan Collymore. but there hardcore of supports all got one, so they have even less money coming in.
Julian Darby = the worst player I've ever had the misfortune to watch playing in sky blue since 1966.
Bradford, we could be Luton...
